Diversity is the key to an impactful and far reaching career. All my life I
have strived to diversify both my professional and academic
endeavors, and it has developed me into a comprehensive individual
whose skills permeate through a multitude of the facets of business.
The growth of my professional skills began in Armenia, where I was
born and raised. Then, in 2015 I sought the opportunity to branch out
and empower my career in different ways, in new and unique places.
This motivation is what brought me to the United States, where I have
been focusing on utilizing my professional skills in a new environment.
It is what has also brought me to this exciting pursuit of a prestigious
MBA degree.
My professional endeavors include over ten years of experience in
IT/Telecom, Oil/Gas, and Construction. The bulk of my work has been
facilitating growth and improvement in a variety of managerial
positions which have led me to the exploration of many other facets of
business. For instance, my work as the Franchisee Sales Director for
three years with Orange Armenia had me focusing on sales and our
financial objectives, such as preparing annual budgets, scheduling
expenditures, and a variety of financial analysis. This job led me to my
next position with Veya Investments, where I led all the financial
processes, and oversaw much of the sales and shipping processes. I
have been fortunate to follow much of the financial organization at
different levels across multiple companies, which has rounded out my
comprehensive understanding of finances, economics, and
accounting.
A large bulk of my work, however, has been on the managerial side of
the spectrum. I have done everything from recruitment to upper level
management where I have worked hard to motivate individuals and
build efficient, high quality teams of people. As a manager at Amsnet

Telecom I developed and managed financial strategies, and helped
train employees to reach the best of their ability. I oversaw employee
performance as well, overall working to build morale and ensure ever
growing success for the company.
I used these skills in a marketing capacity as well, particularly when I
worked as Head of Business Development and Marketing with MLL
Industries. I quickly found that a broader understanding of the
synchronous aspects of business helped in my ability to market the
company effectively. Deeper knowledge of the flow and hierarchy of
the business environment was vital to my ability to put together
proper and effective marketing strategies.
Perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my years of
experience is that all facets of business work in tandem with one
another, and it is ineffective to just understand one aspect, even if your
understanding is incredibly dense. Understanding how the parts of a
business work and flow together is how to make effective change in a
company, and it all plays into quantitative business analysis,
something I have utilized in most all of my jobs.
Looking towards the future, I know that I can expand my knowledge
even further in all aspects of business, which is why an MBA program is
perfect for me. This program will allow me to utilize skills I have
acquired in the past, and apply them in new and unique ways. It is an
opportunity for trial and error, learning what is effective and what isn’t
as I work towards taking on more responsibilities as a business
professional. I am excited for where this MBA could potentially take
my career, and I hope you will consider my application.
